Chapter 666: The current situation of each team, the storm is turbulent!
In the NBA, any two big bosses teaming up can make a big difference.
The big bosses of the four teams are naturally even worse.
Now public opinion in the United States and even the world is shocked by this sudden shocking news, just like the appearance of the Boston Celtics Big Three, shouting that the NBA finale era is coming.
But if you think about it a little closely, in fact, the Boston Celtics Big Three were all embarrassing characters who didn't make the playoffs last season.
Garnett is sinking in the Timberwolves.
Pierce was also rotten at the Celtics, and couldn't be worse.
And Ray Allen, that season, was leading the team to fight for Yes.
But such a team of three "losers" still makes the world exclaim that the NBA finale is coming, naturally not because of seeing the results of the three in the last season.
There are a total of 30 teams in the NBA, and there are definitely no 30 team bosses who can lead the team to the playoffs.
The sole boss of any team that has led a team to the playoffs is something to be taken seriously.
No matter how bad they were before, they were the strongmen who led the team to the playoffs.
Garnett, Pierce, Ray Allen, James, Wade, Bosh and Ben Gordon are the same.
Although it turned out that the triumvirate combination of Garnett, Pierce and Ray Allen did not make the NBA reach the finale, it did not affect the league from generating such panic.
The league's strongest 30 people have four huddles, which of course makes people panic.
Even David Stern was a little panicked for the first time now.
This five-way deal ruined his four teams!
The Raptors don't have Bosh, and there is still a yarn to watch next season.
Without James, who would approve of the Cleveland Cavaliers?
The Nets were supposed to be rebuilding, not to mention.
Especially the bull, this is directly pushed into ruins!
What's more, such a monopoly as the Heat is absolutely harmful to the NBA, especially this kind of forcible combination!
But that old fox of Pat Riley, everything about him is so in accordance with the rules, he can't overthrow it, and he needs to follow the rules, even if he can't follow them.
He wanted to see James play Yes on the stage of the Finals, but definitely not in this way!
And David Stern is not a fool, the whole world is not a fool, can't you see that Pat Riley's appetite is not full now?
This year is a year of wage cap increases!
Now the league's salary cap is $70 million, and the current salary of the Heat's Big Four, Wade is 14 million next season, James is 14 million, Bosh is 14 million, Ben Gordon has not renewed his contract for the time being, but his bird right is in the Heat, and he can renew his contract on the cap.
Now that the Heat, after Pat Riley gave the Bulls a garbage contract, the Heat's player structure is not healthy.
Haslem $6 million, Vallejo $5 million, Mario Champos, second-round pick.
In other words, the total contract of the Heat team next season is more than 53 million, 17 million room away from the 70 million salary cap, and more than $30 million away from the luxury tax trigger line!
Nima's, the Heat can add another giant to the free market, and it's very easy to add a giant!
This year's salary cap has risen sharply, giving this old guy a lot of room to operate!
After the Heat's big deal was completed, David Stern really didn't sleep all night.
He kept thinking about the question, who is Pat Riley's next target?
Could it be Arenas?!
Now it's a complete free agent!
And, don't think that full free agents are Pat Riley's goal, those restricted free agents Pat Riley can also shoot.
For example, Iguodala, a player for the 76ers.
If the Heat give Iguodala a four-year salary cap, will the 76ers follow?
The maximum salary of a player in the NBA for 0-6 years now is 25% of the salary cap, which is about 17 million!
Will the 76ers give Iguodala a five-year salary cap or match the Heat's salary cap?
If it can't be matched, then Iguodala is the fifth big man of the Heat!
The team of five peak bosses gathered, this Nima is really not good for his heart disease!
Iguodala, of course, is just a metaphor for him.
Maybe Pat Riley doesn't have a crush on Iguodala but someone else?
In short, it really is a rather critical time for the alliance for him.
He would like to see James beat Yes to win the championship, and the best era is the era of James and Yes.
But it's really not in this way!
David Stern is sure that after James succeeds in this way, more and more people will follow suit in the future.
When the time comes, there will be more and more oligarchic teams like his league, the strong teams will become stronger and stronger, and the weak teams will become weaker and weaker, and when the time comes, his league will not need to talk about dreams, let alone surpass the NFL, and it will be good to be able to gain a foothold in the American professional league!
Reason told David Stern that he had to stop this from happening, but since Yes appeared and he failed to train James in a special way, he has decided to give up any special means and completely purify the NBA without giving anyone a handle, even in this year's playoffs, when the SuperSonics were so critical, he held back Hu Lai's hands.
In the end, it turned out that he was absolutely right in this decision, and the league has indeed become popular and healthy, and the popularity and recognition of the league have also skyrocketed.
He really didn't want to spoil such an achievement,
Therefore, it is impossible to use special means to fight the Heat in the game.
He can only hope that there is a team in the league that can teach this Heat a lesson in the game, but with the current situation of the Heat, although he is unwilling to admit that this team is invincible, this team is indeed not so easy to beat.
"Can we only expect Yes to grow?"
He's always looking forward to Yes's growth.
Yes's growth has never disappointed him, but ......
"If only Yes had chosen Mayo and Jordan Jr. this year!"
In this way, he can still hope that in three years, Yes and his team can help the alliance smash the Great Demon King's magic grasp and return the alliance to Qingming!
Now......
David Stern sighed.
There are still many people who are sighing like David Stern, regardless of whether it is true that these media around the world are shouting for the finale of the league to attract attention.
But there's no doubt that the Heat are definitely one of the most wary teams in the league of any team aspiring to a championship.
What's more, the current situation of the teams is not necessarily so good.
As the first team in the regular season last season and recognized as the strongest team in the league, the current situation of the Rockets is very bad.
Maddy suffered a recurrence of back injury in the playoffs last season and doesn't know how long he will be out of action, and the contracts of Artest, the team's perimeter defensive core, and Ariza, the team's key perimeter defensive player, have expired, and both are now attracted by many teams, and the Rockets are not the first choice for the two.
Last season's brilliant Rockets are likely to have Yao Ming, Gerard Wallace and Roy leading the team, and the trio must be a strong team, but the dominance is definitely gone.
As the assistant coach of the Rockets, Thibodeau can clearly feel that Adelman's hair is getting grayer and grayer.
Now the situation of the Rockets is really very uncomfortable, and they missed the best opportunity to win the championship, and maybe they will never be there again.
In a similar situation with the Rockets, the Suns lost last year's playoffs and several key players were ready to start afresh under Nash's inspiration.
The players and coaches want to start again, but they need to think about what the team owners think.
Marion's contract expires this year, renewal is a big problem, Marion is still at the peak of his fighting power now, but he is now 30 years old.
Marion wants to get a big enough pension contract.
But how could the management of the Sun dare to give, if it really gives, in the next five years, the Sun will really be tied to death!
And Ragabel's contract has also expired, how big should Ragabel's contract be?
Could it be that all the six stars of the sun are more than 10 million contracts?
Ragabel Suns don't give 10 million, some teams give it, you can't let Ragabel take a salary cut to stay in the team, right?
Don't forget, Nash also needs to sign a new contract, Nash's next contract is a maximum salary, and the Suns can't let the second point guard in history leave.
Nash has never signed a big enough contract in his life, and when the time comes, Nash's next contract will definitely be a big contract for gratitude.
When the time comes, the luxury tax will be tied to a bunch of garbage contracts, and what will the sun do in the future?
It's tough for the Suns right now, but the contract that should be negotiated has to be continued.
There is also the third place in the West in the regular season, the defending champion SuperSonics, the second leader of the SuperSonics, Durant will be out of action until the playoffs at least, and the team has now become a team with Yes alone.
Next season's combat effectiveness is really in doubt.
And what about the Nuggets, who are fourth in the West?
Well, this team, nicknamed the Zombie Team, is another year older......
There are also the Nuggets, who were sixth in the West last season, Billups and Hamilton were hit hard by the 3-0 turnaround in last season's playoffs, and now they even have the idea of retiring.
Especially Hamilton.
Now the Nuggets are in charge of other things, trying their best to rescue these two team bigwigs.
Perhaps the most thriving in the entire West right now are the Lakers and Grizzlies.
"Our only enemy in the West next season is the Grizzlies, and our opponent in the league is the Heat!"
At the Lakers' team meeting against the Heat's Big Four incident, Kobe Bryant's voice was confident!
And that's no wonder he is, because he does have a reason to be confident.
"I can tell you the good news, Artest is already willing to join the Lakers, and Ariza is willing to join the Lakers as long as the contract is suitable!"
Hearing Kobe Bryant, who is a recruiter for the Lakers, say this, everyone else who is doing it is excited.
These two are fierce generals!
The fierce player who defeated the Lakers in the playoffs last season!
"As long as Arenas doesn't join the Grizzlies and the Heat, the Lakers will be the best team in the league next season!"
The Lakers, who were originally excited and excited, were a little embarrassed to hear that Arenas had joined the Grizzlies and the Heat.
Now the whole world is hyping where Arenas will finally go.
The Grizzlies and Heat are two of the hottest options.
After two consecutive Eastern Conference defeats, Arenas looks like it's going to be hard to stay with the Wizards.
Where Arenas is going is big enough to change the landscape of the entire league.
In Phil Jackson's view, the Heat's Big Four are very strong, but he didn't expect the NBA to have a finale, and the Lakers joined by Artest and Ariza next season will not be worse than the Big Four's Heat.
The key is the ownership of this huge straw of Arenas.
"Arenas ......"
At the mention of this name, Kobe Bryant has a toothache, there are not many players in the league who can give him a toothache, Arenas, James and Yes, these three are definitely in the top three without winning or losing.
Whether Arenas goes to the Heat or the Grizzlies, it will be quite a fatal blow for him and the Lakers.
After the formation of the Big Four of the Heat, the whole league is holding targeted meetings.
Seattle SuperSonic, of course, is no exception.
Yes, Nelson Sr., Presti and team president Rick Sander are once again in the room.
However, before the meeting, the team's general manager, Presti, expressed his gratitude to Yes.
"Yes, thanks for the Harden and Ibaka thing."
"It's fine."
Ye Si shook his head.
Picking Harden and Ibaka was Presti's decision.
Yes is the one who agrees with Harden, as for Ibaka......
He really wasn't very clear.
Now the whole world is still on his head with the decision of these two men.
He actually doesn't care, even if he uses the champion lottery to choose Liu Wei, no one dares to do anything to him.
But Presti can't, if the world's coconut fans know that the selection of Durant, Harden, and Ibaka is actually pushed by Presti, he may not be the general manager of the SuperSonics now.
No one will give him that much time, he is not an irreplaceable player, and under the pressure of public opinion, the best place for the general manager is to resign.
Like Rick Sander, the president of the SuperSonics who is now seated, he did not wait for Yes to prove himself before resigning gloomily.
Although Rick Sound eventually turned into a city hero.
Yes likes the team's current general manager, Presti, a person with warmth, ideals and ability, and he is willing to use such a person as a shield. "At the end of the season, none of us expected the league to change so much."
At the Seattle SuperSonics meeting, the participants were a little silent except for Yes.
The Heat's goal in forming the Big Four is very clear, that is, to win the championship, and they are the defending champions, bearing the brunt.
And the Big Four formed by the Heat, James's personal goal is also very clear, that is, to defeat Yes, the Chosen Son again!
Although James now has the prestige of the Chosen One and it is not enough to beat Yes, there is no doubt that it will still be quite ugly if Yes is really humiliated by the Heat next season.
What's more, the current state of hypersound is really bad.
Yes looked at a document from the team's general manager, Presti, that said about the superSonics for next season.
Centre-forwards: Milicic, Gasol Jr., Nick Collisson
Power forwards: Millsap, Ibaka, Malikroos
Small forwards: Durant (injured), Quentin Richardson, Wilkins, P.J. Tucker
Guards: Yes, Rondo, Harden, Barria, Sessions
Just 15 players.
One no more, one no less.
Presti's meaning is obvious, that is, this is all the superSonics will be in for next season, and if our team does not change, we can only go to next season with this lineup.
But if it changes, from where it changes?
The weakest small forward position, do you need to grab Marion?
With a total salary of less than $60 million, the supersonic can make a difference in the free market.
Arenas can't take it, but some of the others that aren't so top are still okay.
And it's really not good, you can buy out the contract, isn't it just money?
What money can solve, it's not a thing, be ruthless, supersonic can also quote Arenas!
"We can try to get in touch with Marion and Arenas."
Old Nelson said in deep thought at Presti's inquiring gaze.
"What do you think?"
"I have no opinion."
Washington, Arenas's home, has not been very peaceful lately, and Washington has not been so peaceful.
The team's starting power forward, Antoine Jamison, actually evaporated from the world after the season!
When the contract expires, will the world evaporate?
Does this need more explanation?
Of course not.
And in the more than a month after Jamison disappeared, Arenas also disappeared.
Arenas' contract also expires this year, so much so that rumors around the world have risen.
Now, Arenas and Jamison, the two players who disappeared from the message, are all present at Arenas's home.
"Brothers, partners, do you see if these new treasures I bought are mighty and majestic?"
Looking at the guy with the black hole pointing at him like this, Jamison's legs are weak now!
Nima's, this madman won't play really, will he?!
Jamison really wants to cry now, it's all hidden in the Atlantic Africa, and he has been found!
These ungrateful guys!
And Gilbert, the majesty of Lao Tzu Pip Nyima, the majesty of Pip Nyima!
"Antoine, what's so fun about hunting on the island, it's all some cold weapons, look at these treasures, it's fun to hunt with such a big guy in our place, right?"
"Yes, yes, yes, Gilbert is so right, I like to play with these big guys with Gilbert!"
“……”
For a moment, the air around him changed from nervous to blooming, just like Arenas's smile.
It's just that the other Wizards players are now looking at it with contempt.
What about being the first to rise up and rebel?
Why did we choose such a cowardly one!
O Nyima!
There are no traitors among you, and I can be found by this tyrant?
"I won't say anything more to you, my contract expires this year, and many teams have approached me, but I can tell you clearly, I don't like the Grizzlies, I don't like the Heat, and the SuperSonics, I don't like it either!"
"Lao Tzu's interest is to be a rival with Yes, not a teammate!"
"Lao Tzu wants to be the strongest player, and Lao Tzu also wants to lead the strongest team, but if you can't be the strongest, challenge the strongest, and defeat the strongest is also a happy thing in life!"
"Brothers, pick up the guy next to you, we're going to have a good day today!"
Looking at the arrogant Arenas, all the Wizards players were stunned, including Jamison.
This tyrant has a bad head, but he ...... Domineering indeed......
Trying to Sexually Touch Arenas......
As soon as the SuperSonics were ready to make contact, Arenas announced a contract extension with the Wizards.
The supersonic contact with Arenas, failed.
With the renewal of Arenas' contract, all the teams that coveted Arenas failed.
And almost at the same time, the Heat announced that they would sign Thunder player Tyson Chandler to a four-year, 60 million contract for 4 years.
At the same time, Marbury, the former boss of the New York Knicks, announced that he would join the Heat with a base salary......
For a while, the wind and clouds were stirring again.
